Catherine Polcz
Corpus: Part 2
Opening Event: Friday 6 October 6-8pm
Artist Talks: Saturday 21 October 3-5pm
Catherine Polcz, artist, scientist and museologist, presents Corpus: a guide to the human body, a pop-up museum that explores the body, medicine and materiality through the display of historical artifacts, scientific tools and art.
This exhibition examines the body as a concept that merges science, pseudo-science, design and art. The simultaneous exploration of these themes allows us to creatively consider our relationship to our bodies throughout history and in different disciplines within distinct theoretical frameworks. The exhibition presents a multifaceted concept of the human body through the display of sixty unique objects. This is Part 2 of an exhibition that is expanding over a three-month period from September to November.
